Las Vegas Skyline Lights At Dusk

The Vegas Skyline, Self-whack-a-moleing + Space XD

I’ve landed at Las Vegas’ McCarran Airport a boatload of times, well at least dozens.  I live in Vegas for God’s sake, which means anytime I travel, I have to depart from and return to – you guessed it – McCarran!  Nope, I haven’t grown tired of the city I call home, but yep, I sure have let many a landing pass without taking stock of my town’s incredibly famous skyline.

Friday Fast Takes Will You Be Our Valentine?!

Fridays are for winding down, wrapping up, and if you’re like me, maybe getting to those creative exercises we often let slip further and further down the to-do list each week. Since it\’s February, and we just can\’t escape little Cupid, we\’re covering everything from how to love and embrace your own personal style, to why crushing on your staff is a good thing!

Grateful is a word that gets tossed around frequently this time of year, a time to take stock of the blessings we have and do good for others. But many of us spend our days teetering between the euphoria of Hallmark movies and cozy sweaters and the foreboding reality of holiday season preparations and that monstrous line at, well, everywhere. Grocery shopping for huge family celebrations, gift shopping for your loved ones to ensure a magical day, and traveling, whether by train, plane or automobile, through all of it during the busiest time of year.

Friday Fast Takes

Fridays are for winding down, wrapping up, and, if you’re like me, maybe getting to those creative exercises we often let slip further and further down the to-do list each week. Selfishly, to create accountability for myself and catapult that imagineering time back up the charts, I’m launching G+A’s Friday Fast Takes series.

G+A’s Magical I2I Ratio

When we’re trying to change something about our lives, it’s easy to be swept up in the early rush of motivational platitudes: “Just do it!”; “The journey of 1,000 miles begins with 1 step.”; “When life gives you lemons…”; all of which nudges us to begin somewhere…anywhere and helps to focus the mass of swirling energy we have around change. But what happens when the initial euphoria of taking that leap fades?
